Excellent stay here! We loved everything about this beautiful old stone mill that has been stylishly renovated on the inside while retaining its original character!
The very large conservatory was just wonderful to relax in as it was furnished generously with comfortable sofa…

Response from Mary:

That is lovely to hear Maureen, especially coming from a lady so finely tuned to the hospitality industry. Thank you we both appreciate your kind words. It was indeed a treat to have you stay and we both enjoyed the conversations...we need to explore more of these another time. Perhaps you will come back on that genealogy trail in Donegal.

Thank you Jude for the glowing review, I appreciate it very much. I am glad you got to both Beltany and the Giant's Causeway, next time the Sliabh League Cliffs in Donegal and Portsalon beach !!!

Mary is amazing. She provided a light breakfast for us, had wonderful day trips planned out, suggestions for places to eat and buy souvenirs, and provided extra things that we Americans are accustomed to like wash cloths and top sheets. Mary is a very kind-hearted soul and trul…

Mary’s cottage was the embodiment of all my daydreams of life in the Irish countryside. Mary’s welcome, complete with fresh baked bread, was so lovely, and we felt so at home in the cottage. We loved hearing about the grounds from Peter, strolling in the garden, playing with the …

Response from Mary:

Thank you so very much Maureen for those lovely words, I'm glad you had a relaxing time and that you enjoyed staying with us . It is not always easy with a toddler to have some down time, we are very happy that you were able to find that with us while in Ireland.....and that the our cat Stella and Oreo and Lily helped too.
